Soundprint Program - Who Needs Libraries?

I'm currently listening to a new Soundprint radio program called "Who Needs Libraries." The program is available for streaming.

A short description from the Soundprint site describes the program:
As more and more information is available on-line, as Amazon rolls out new software that allows anyone to find any passage in any book, an important question becomes: Who needs libraries anymore? Why does anyone need four walls filled with paper between covers? Surprisingly, they still do and in this program Producer Richard Paul explores why; looking at how university libraries, school libraries and public libraries have adapted to the new information world.

The release from ALA about this program includes a schedule for listening to it live. You can tune in:
